Community Radio and the Idea of Social Participation. The Case of Radio Spark FM

Summary/Abstract: Community radio – the third, in addition to the commercial and public sector of broadcasting – has become a permanent element of the media landscape, especially in Western Europe. One of the key features which distinguish this sector is a high level of social involvement. In this article, the author tries to explain that this social involvement is not obvious, but a value which community radios had to continuously take care of and struggle for. Radio Spark from the University of Sunderland in Great Britain served here as an example. Inspiration to write this article came from a visit to The David Puttnam Media Centre, University of Sunderland, during which the author had a chance to see how this station functions, collect documents, as well as interview members of its board and volunteers collaborating with the station.
